Typical Mechanical Properties of 5005 Aluminum Plate

5005 Aluminum Plate Advantages Disadvantages

This aluminum is the weakest of the non-heat-treatable aluminum alloys. However, it can be hardened by cold working, is well suited for decorative anodizing, and has good weldability.

5005 Aluminum Plate Forming

5005 has excellent formability, especially in softer tempers. SAF carriers 5005 H34 temper which is slightly harder and is comparable to 5052 H32 for forming.

5005 Aluminum Plate Welding

5005 alloy is noted for excellent welding characteristics. When 5005 material will be welded and then anodized, SAF recommends a 5356 welding wire for best color uniformity. Weld discoloration can still occur, but it is less severe than other welding alloys.

5005 Aluminum Plate Machining

5005 machinability is generally fairly poor. Soft 5005 tempers machine worse than harder tempers. 5005 H34 and 5005 H38 can be machined, but with much more difficulty than many other aluminum alloys.

Chemical Composition of 5005 Aluminum Plate

5005 vs 5052 Aluminum Plate

Both 5005 and 5052 aluminum are popular types of aluminum alloys that offer good strength, formability, and corrosion resistance. However, there are some key differences between them that make each alloy better for certain applications.

• Magnesium Content : 5005 Aluminum has a lower magnesium content than 5052 Aluminum (0.5% vs. 2.5%), which results in 5005 being slightly less strong and stiff.
• Corrosion resistance : 5052 is more resistant to corrosion, 5052 aluminum is slightly better resistant to salt water and other corrosive environments due to its higher magnesium content.
• Formability : 5005 aluminum is more formable, which makes it easier to bend and form into complex parts.
• Weldability : 5005 aluminum is easier to weld than 5052 aluminum.
• Application :
  • 5005 aluminum is commonly used in architectural and decorative applications, as well as in the automotive and appliance industries.
  • 5052 aluminum is commonly used in marine and transportation applications, as well as sheet metal fabrication.

Both 5005 and 5052 aluminum sheets are versatile alloys that offer good strength, formability, and corrosion resistance. The choice between the two will depend on specific application requirements, such as the desired level of corrosion resistance and desired formability and weldability.
